What’s the coolest thing you found in the back country

[AK Troutbum]

Memorials, a .44mag with the round under the hammer fired, a couple of crashed airplanes, couple of bodies, some sheepdogs that had puppies and tried to eat me, binoculars, Ford fairlane a LONG way from a road.

That's got me thinking, maybe I should be looking for an old Ford Fairlane for my next hunting vehicle.

While bear hunting the Delaware Water Gap two years ago I was coming down the mountain and found this old abandoned Barn with two 1950/60’s cars and an old manure spreader. It was crazy since there was no road to be found. Apparently everything had sucked up with regrowth. Super spooky I was expecting Jason to come out of the dark and get me.

I thought this one was pretty neat.

Hate to say it but I don't think I'd want to go in the woods with you, lol. That's crazy that you've found a couple bodies.

I spent several years on a Search and Rescue team.

Found this amazing stone axe head in the middle of a soybean field in Missouri. By far the greatest Indian artifact I've ever stumbled across.

This cool table. Right on the edge of some private property in MT. Probably weighed 300 lbs. A couple of the benches had recent repairs so safe to say it’s a somewhat used location.

I love threads like this because they encourage rooting around in your memories for cool stuff. they are positive and remind us that we as outdoorsman have a lot in common and a genuine fellowship.

1990 ish a pair of WWII half track armored vehicles at an old mine site in NV Ruby Mtns.

2014 A Cold Steel Master Hunter - I cleaned it up and bought a sheath for it and it goes with me every time now. Two years later we were camped near a group of hunters at the same spot where I found the knife. We went over to have a drink with these guys. One of the guys we had met there before. When I got my knife out to cut some cheese he started asking about it and it turns out he had lost it in deep snow right in camp a couple years before I found it. I asked if he wanted it back and he asked me “Do you love it?” I said “I kinda do” and he said “You keep it then, I have others”. Even though the blade is pitted and the handle is mouse chewed it is one of my prized possessions. What a generous gift.

2020 A pair of large arrow heads about 2” long (maybe spearheads?) found within 90 seconds of each other. I gave one to my son who was with me at the time. The one in the pic I carry in my pocket for good luck.

I’ll spend a lot of time today thinking about this.

It is amazing. Kinda looks like a bullet strike towards the front in the first pic.

I found a gas can with about 3 gallons of gas in it.

This campsite was pretty neat this fall. Table had names and dates carved in it that were 30 years old.

About 2 miles in is the wreckage of a rare B-17C that broke apart mid-air in October of 1941.

Where is this? Roughly, if you don't want to say exactly.

In high school found an old abandoned mining camp with a trunk. Open it and it was full of old 50-80's Playboys, sadly no holy grail 1953 Marilyn Monroe. Took it to an antique dealer and got $50 beer money for the collection, which I consider at the time a powerball win.

My wife spotted this Case rusty old 3 blade knife on the ground while we were hunting elk in the breaks of Montana. Daughter ended up harvesting a nice bull. I carefully cleaned it up, leaving the patina and now carry it for good luck mojo.

Fishing in Canada...found an old trappers cabin..still had two rifles (no bolts in them and rusted enough couldn't tell exactly what they were.)....had a bunch of little things around....then my dad looked under a log that had fallen from the roof and found and old beaver skin mitten/gauntlet with native beadwork on it. We looked for another hour or so all around the cabin and on the little island it was on and never found the other one.
